What a Week!

While we were camping, Bobby found out his Uncle Bob had passed away. I had only met him a couple times, but each time we were with them, we had a blast. His Uncle Bob and Aunt Mimi were an awesome couple and I just wish I would have met them sooner and we would have made the trip to St. Louis more often. Bobby was named after his Uncle Bob and they look just alike from pictures we saw at the funeral!  It sounds as though Bobby has a lot of the same qualities and mannerisms as him as well.

On Tuesday, we headed to St. Louis for the viewing which someone had said he had over 1,000 people come through to pay their respects. That shows a lot and definitely shows how well liked he was, and no wonder with his personality!  We stayed in a hotel and shared a room with Kristen and her 2 kids, then the next day went to the funeral. Natalie was not a very good baby in the funeral, so her and I spent the majority of the funeral service in the lobby. Since this is her 2nd funeral, she did better at this viewing, but definitely worse during the service. I don't blame her for not liking funeral homes much!

Afterwards, we headed out to lunch with everyone that his aunt paid for everyone, which was extremely generous. After lunch, we went over to Bobby's cousin's home to visit. It was nice to meet everyone, but sad at the same time under the circumstances. We headed back to Terre Haute last night and worked today. My normal "off" Friday will be a working Friday for me...yuck!...but didn't really have a choice.

Over the course of these last couple of days, Natalie would not really take naps and would not go to sleep well at night because she didn't want to miss out on any of the action!  On Tuesday night, I don't think she went to bed until midnight or 1am our time. Wednesday she only took short little catnaps until we made the trek back to Terre Haute and she slept almost the entire 3 hours. Last night, she was perfectly content in her crib to play with her blanket and finally went to sleep around 1am. So, at daycare today, she took a 3 1/2 hour nap!  I think she was just a little bit exhausted :)  We are too!  Too bad work isn't like daycare where we can nap whenever we would like...haha!  Looking forward to sleeping this weekend! 

I'm hoping after all this commotion that Natalie gets back into her 12 hour sleeps again!
